The correct answer is: 0.02 J

As we know that, work done in rotating a magnetic dipole in magnetic field is,

W=MB(cosθ1-cosθ2)    ...(1)

Now in the above given question we have, Magnetic Moment (M)=10-2 i^ A m2,Magnetic Field=Bi^cosωt with B=1 T , ω=0.125 rad s-1 and t=1 s

Let initial angle (θ1)=0 so on reversing the direction of magnetic moment final angle (θ2)=180

Now, substituting all the values in equation (1) we get,

W=10-2×(1)cos0.125×1cos0-cos180

W=10-2cos0.1251--1   (cos0=1 and cos180=-1)

W=2×10-2×0.99

W0.02 J

Therefore, the work done in reversing the direction of the magnetic moment is 0.02 J.
